Do you need to Renew a Registration or FIle an Entirely New Registration?

All current Calendar Year 2024 lobbyist or liaison registrations automatically expire December 31, 2024. This expiration will not prevent currently registered lobbyists and liaisons from filing their final report for registration year 2024 which is due between January 1 and January 15, 2025.

 

New Lobbyists or Liaisons:  If you have not been registered to lobby in Oklahoma since Calendar year 2015, or if you have never registered in Oklahoma, you must register with the Commission between December 1, 2024 and January 15, 2025 if you are going to engage in lobbying activities in 2025.

2024 Election Non-Registered Committee Calendar

Political action committees registered in another state will report their Oklahoma activity using this reporting process. Committees registered and reporting with the FEC do not file with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission.

NOTE that a political action committee registered in another state that will make contributions to Oklahoma candidates, independent expenditures or electioneering communications is required to file written proof of its registration with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission before making contributions to a candidate (or candidates) for state office.

Reporting Requirements:

Non Oklahoma PACs are required to file reports during the filing period that covers the dates of Oklahoma activity. Generally, the reporting periods are quarterly through a calendar year with the exception of independent expenditure or electioneering communication activity which will require a report to be filed using the pre-election reporting schedule.

For IE/EC expenditures made more than 15 days prior to an election, a report is due no earlier than fourteen (14) days prior to the election and no later than eight (8) days before an election.

For IE/EC expenditures made within the last 14 days of an election, a report is due no later than the business day following the day the expenditure is made.  Go to the View Reports OR File Reports button and open the Special Reports section.
